The three hire a farm, don overalls and turn their hands to the culture of the soil. The girls advertise for men to do housework, but not a single applicant appears. In desperation, Jean, Mabel and Grace capture Harold, Jack and Jim. The boys are imprisoned in the barn and are informed that they will be released upon promising to do the housework. The prisoners give one glance at their captors and promptly promise. Within an hour, Jim, Harold and Jack are scrubbing floors, preparing meals, etc. Meanwhile, the girls discover that farming isn't all that it is cracked up to be. Mabel is soon weeping over a collection of blisters as the result of using a hoe. Jean weeps because her spine feels like a rubber hose, due to bending over the garden track, while Grace sobs because using a hacksaw has made her arms feel like two billets of wood. Thus the boys find them. Unknown to the others, each proposes marriage. The girls sob their consent. Each couple steals to the minister, arriving at the same moment as the other two. Woman's emancipation is forgotten. The lovers stand before the Dominie and, with one accord, promise to assume their peculiar duties. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
